Fixed a bug with background colors and proportional fonts.  Also added
	an escape sequence, \e]30;<filename>\a, to dump the scrollback buffer
	to a file.  You will not get colors, or bold, or underlining, or any
	other rendering information.  Just the text.  Linebreaks will appear
	as they do on the screen.

This is the first public availability of the work thus far on Eterm
	0.9.1.  There's quite a bit of new stuff here.

	* Added scrollbar thumb support.

	* Completely redid the terminfo/termcap stuff.  The terminfo file is
	now compiled (by tic) and installed by default (unless you specify
	--without-terminfo).  The config files still say xterm, though,
	because some programs (like SLang and GNU mc) use the silly algorithm
	of "Is $TERM set to xterm?" to detect mouse reporting support in a
	terminal. =P  But if you don't ever use xterm, you can use Eterm's
	termcap and just name it "xterm" instead.  Thanks to Marius Gedminas
	<mgedmin@takas.lt> for his patch that started this whole revamp.

	* Added the kEsetroot script for KDE users from Dax Games
	<dgames@isoc.net>.

	* You can now configure the Home and End emulation via --with-home=
	and --with-end= options to configure.  The --with-terminfo option is
	also new, and --enable-xim is now the default.

	* Added a new image state, disabled, for when Eterm loses focus.  This
	is supported by all widgets (well, all those that could possibly be
	on screen when Eterm lost focus), even the background image.  So you
	could actually have all your images darken on focus out and restore
	to normal on focus in.

	* Widget colors formerly dealt with as colors (menu text color,
	scrollbar color, etc.) are now handled by the imageclasses.  Each
	image state can have a foreground and background color defined.  The
	current exception is the background image; I hope to add that later.
	The foreground is the text color and the background is the object
	color (for solid color mode).  So menu text color is set by the menu
	imageclass.  And again, for unfocused colors, use the disabled state
	of the imageclass.

	* Proportionally-spaced fonts are now handled much better.  They are
	still forced into evenly-spaced columns (it's a terminal for crying
	out loud!) but at least you don't end up with Eterm's wider than your
	screen. :-)

	* Home on refresh is gone, as is home on echo.  It's now much simpler.
	There are two options:  home on output, and home on input, the former
	being a combination of echo and refresh.  Also, keypresses that don't
	necessarily have corresonding output can trigger a home on input,
	like Ctrl-End or whatever...ones that don't have special meaning.
	Credit to Darren Stuart Embry <dse@louisville.edu> for pointing out
	this issue and the one with "m-" in font names.

	* I finally got around to re-merging the new parser stuff from my
	work on the Not Game.  Closed up some old potential behavior quirks
	with theme parsing.

	* Added a new escape sequence to fork-and-exec a program.  Also added
	a scrollback search capability to highlight all occurances of a string
	in your scrollback buffer.  Use the new "Etsearch" utility to access
	it.  "Etsearch string" to search for a string, then "Etsearch" by
	itself to reset the highlighting.

	* And of course, the biggie.  Eterm now supports a completely-
	customizeable buttonbar.  Not a menubar, a buttonbar.  It can have an
	arbitrary number of buttons, and each button can perform an action,
	just like a menuitem.  So a button could bring up a menu (like a
	menubar) or launch a program (like a launchbar) or perform an
	operation (like a toolbar).  Each button can have an icon, text, or
	both.  And you can have buttons left- or right-justified in the
	buttonbar.  You will eventually be able to have an arbitrary number
	of buttonbars, but I'm still working on that.

	As with any change this big, things could very easily be broken.  So
	beware. :-)  I have tested this myself, and everything seems to work,
	but I can't test every possibility.  Let me know if you find anything
	that's broken, and enjoy!

Finally fixed the seg fault pointed out by Tom Gilbert
	<gilbertt@tomgilbert.freeserve.co.uk> back in mid-September where
	small Eterms with little or no scrollback would crash when receiving
	large amounts of data all at once.

	I also fixed a clearing issue with double buffering, and I worked
	around a really lame gdb/glibc2 bug that has prevented me from using
	gdb with Eterm for ages.

Thanks to a cl00 from raster, double buffering is much more efficient
	now. :-)

I finally got around to implementing double-buffering, although it
	seems to still have some issues with font changes.  But if you don't
	change fonts, it works great. :-)

	I also fixed the multibyte font stuff with help from Sung-Hyun Nam
	<namsh@lgic.co.kr>.  There seem to be some new issues here, though,
	with the background pixmap.  But I'm to tired to look deeper tonight.

Some selection changes and escape sequence fixes.  You can now
	specify multiple color modifier commands in a single escape sequence.
	You can also remove any existing color modifiers using "clear".

Shaved off around 100 KB of memory usage per Eterm by moving more
	code into the shared library, removing lots of unneeded variables, and
	fixing some small leaks here and there.

Worked around a XF86 3.9.16 (perhaps Xinerama) problem.  Also added
	some XIM changes from Sung-Hyun Nam <namsh@lgic.co.kr> to handle
	buffer overflows.

Now that we have a fixed CVS server....  This includes the old 0.8.10
	code, but it's now 0.9.  It also includes a timer subsystem.
